Motif65 designed by Akukolabs & BowlKeyboards is a keyboard inspired by the bold, playful design of the Motif keycap set. With its clean two-tone look, vibrant colours, and thoughtful details, it’s designed to make a statement on your desk—and elevate your workspace the moment you unpack it.
The idea for Motif65 came from the incredible response to the Motif keycap set. Many people, both inside and outside the keyboard community, asked about a matching keyboard, and it got us thinking: what if we could offer something complete? A keyboard kit that not only pairs perfectly with the keycaps but includes everything you need—keycaps, switches, and a beautifully designed board.
